Title: Improvements in Speed Indicating Apparatus.
Inventor: FAIGLE FRIEDRICH
IPC: G01P1/08
Filed: 1912-10-19
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 23,942. Faigle, F. Oct. 21, 1911, [Convention date]. Road-vehicle signals; time alarms; automatic bell and lamp signals.-In a speed indicator for vehicles, engines, &c., a series of visual and audible signals are given at a rate proportional to the speed, and the time periods are distinguished, for example by varying the character of the signals, so that the number of signals of one colour or tone gives the speed. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a sector-shaped aperture 2 in the casing 1 and a similar aperture 5 in a disk 3 driven by the vehicle allow intermittent views of a coloured disk 7, which is rocked or rotated by clock-work 15 every five seconds so as to present a different colour for that period. The number of flashes of one colour seen in any period is therefore a measure of the speed. At night, transparent panels 10 cause differently coloured flashes to be emitted from a lamp 12. The audible signals are given by differentlytoned bells 17, 18 periodically raised and lowered by a clock-actuated cam 23 to bring each in turn into the range of action of a hammer 24 operated by a vehicle-driven cam 25. In the construction shown in Figs. 8 and 11, the vehicle and clock driven elements are in the form of apertured cylinders 35, 37 co-operating with one or more apertures in the casing 33. The cylinder 37 is driven in the one direction intermittently by the clock-work 48. The bells in this instance are formed of intermeshing toothed cups 50, 51 and these are intermittently rotated to cause the hammer 52, vibrated by a notched ring 55, to strike a tooth of each in alternation. The vehicle and clock driven visual elements may have rectlinear movement instead of rotary movement, and they may take the form of apertured endless bands moving past apertures in a casing or in the sides of a tramcar. If desired, special visible or audible signals may be given to mark the commencement of each period.

Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 8576. Nessler, W., and Jenssen, A. April 11. S e a m i n g . - In a machine f o r seaming lids 26, Fig. 4, on non- circular cans 25, the attendant has only to operate a handle 18, which opens . the non- rotating chucks 10, 11, and replace t h e finished can by a fresh one, all the other operations being performed automatically. Assuming the parts to be in the position shown in Fig. 1, the handle 18 is moved in the direction of the arrow 19, thereby lowering the non-rotating chuck 11 against the action of the spring 15 by means of a toggle 22, 24. At the same t i m e, t h e lever 80 p a s s e s the catch 84, Fig. 2, on the lever 81, thereby l o c k i n g the levers together. T h e finished can is removed, a fresh one placed between the chucks 10, 11 and the h a n d l e 18 a l l o w e d to return, thereby clamping the can and moving the lever 81 to the left. This lever 81, acting through the lever 77 and spindle 72, raises the gear 64 so that the pins 71 thereon engage a gear 63. The constantlydriven pulley 27 has a hub 28, Fig. 4, carrying a gear 62 engaging the gear 63 and a loose sleeve 54 with a smaller gear 65 engaging the gear 64 so that the sleeve 54 makes one revolution relative to the pulley 27 while this makes nine revolutions. During this revolution, the wheels 50, 51, engaging cam-grooves 52, 53 in the sleeve 54, are in turn moved down, pushing the guide-rollers 42, 43, Fig. 4, into the polygonal guide-ring 61, Fig. 3, thus forcing the seaming-rollers 40, 41 on the spindles 38, 39 to act in turn on the can. When one revolution of the sleeve relative to the pulley is complete, a projection 85, Fig. 2, on the sleeve engages a lever 87 on the pulley projecting its end 88 so that it strikes the tail 89 of the catch 84 and releases the lever 81 from the lever 80, so that the former is moved by the spring 75 to disengage the gears 63, 64, thus leaving the machine in the original position and with all parts at rest except for the rotation of the pulley 27 and the parts carried thereby.
